Performance and Scalability of the NAS Parallel Benchmarks in Java
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several features make Java an attractive choice for scientific applications. In order to gauge the applicability of Java to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), we have implemented the NAS Parallel Benchmarks in Java. The performance and sealability of the benchmarks point out the areas where improvement in Java compiler technology and in Java thread implementation would position Java closer to Fortran in the competition for scientific applications.

HPC in Java: Experiences in Implementing the NAS Parallel Benchmarks
This paper reports on the design, implementation and benchmarking of a Java version of the Nas Parallel Benchmarks. We first briefly describe the implementation and the performance pitfalls. We then compare the overall performance of the Fortran MPI (PGI) version with a Java implementation using the ProActive middleware for distribution. All Java experiments were conducted on virtual machines w...
متن کاملScalability and Performance Analysis of OpenMP Codes Using the Periscope Toolkit
In this paper, we present two new approaches while rendering necessary extensions to Periscope to perform scalability and performance analysis on OpenMP codes. Periscope is an online-based performance analysis toolkit which consists of a user defined number of analysis agents that automatically search for the performance properties while the application is running. In order to detect the scalab...
متن کاملTitanium Performance and Potential: An NPB Experimental Study
Titanium is an explicitly parallel dialect of Java designed for high-performance scientific programming. We present an overview of the language features and demonstrate their use in the context of the NAS Parallel Benchmarks, a standard suite of common scientific kernels. We argue that parallel languages like Titanium provide greater expressive power than conventional approaches, enabling much ...
متن کاملBenchmarking Java on the IBM SP-2
In this paper we present results and analysis of benchmark tests that directly compare the performance of JavaMPI, Fortran and C routines on the 128-node IBM SP-2 HPC system, at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The suite of tests include scalability studies of the NAS Embarrassingly Parallel and Integer Sort Benchmarks for 2 to 128 processors, along with results from basic operations and com...
متن کاملOpenSHMEM Performance and Potential: A NPB Experimental Study
OpenSHMEM is a recently introduced open standard for all SHMEM libraries. In this paper we discuss the different aspects of porting the NAS parallel benchmarks from their MPI 1 implementations to those that use the new OpenSHMEM library API. We compare performance and scalability of these unoptimized OpenSHMEM NAS benchmarks with their MPI 1, and in some cases, MPI 2 counter parts. Through the ...
